A Sanskrit Reader - With Vocabulary and Notes #225322

So cumbrous or so meagre have been hitherto the appliances for acquiring even a moderate knowledge of Sanskrit, that classical students, when seeking such knowledge as an auxiliary to their special work, have found the labor discouragingly great. These students unquestionably have a legitimate and sufficient reason for undertaking Sanskrit, and I venture to hope that the difficulties of the beginning (see p. Xv) have been so materially lessened that they will now find even a modicum of Sanskrit well worth the trouble of attainment.
